Updated Maserati GranTurismo, GranCabrio and Grecale revealed

Updating a century-old heritage with digital track performance markers underscores how luxury brands blend tradition with modern buyer expectations.

Maserati is celebrating the centenary of the Trident logo in 2026. Although Maserati was founded in 1914, it wasn’t until 1926 that the Trident logo first appeared. And to honour ‘100 Years of the Trident’, the Italian automaker has handed the GranTurismo, GranCabrio and Grecale a selection of updates.

The revised GranTurismo, GranCabrio and Grecale adopt new front bumpers, which feature reshaped lower air intakes for improved cooling. The GranTurismo and GranCabrio have also gained a central front splitter to optimise downforce. Inside, the Italian automaker has fitted a new racing-inspired octagonal steering wheel. The 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, 12.2-inch digital instrument cluster and heads-up display feature fresh graphics. A driver monitoring system is now standard in the GranTurismo and GranCabrio.

As a reminder, the coupé and cabriolet are available in three derivatives: Modena, Trofeo and Folgore. Both the Modena and Trofeo are powered by the Modena manufacturer’s ‘Nettuno’ 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6. In Modena trim, the latter unit churns out 360kW and 650Nm of torque. The Trofeo boasts a 29kW increase in power compared to the pre-facelifted model – now producing 434kW, with torque remaining unchanged.

The Folgore is underpinned by 800V electric architecture incorporating a single front-mounted electric motor and a duo of e-motors at the rear. The all-wheel-drive electric setup is mated with a 92.5kWh (gross) battery pack. Over 883kW is on tap, with 559kW continuously available. Maserati has devised a new energy management algorithm to increase this EV’s range to over 540km. The all-electric GranTurismo and GranCabrio have top speeds of 325km/h and 290km/h, respectively.

New to the Grecale range is the ‘Nettuno’ V6, offered in Modena and Trofeo specification. In 287kW and 499Nm state of tune, this Italian SUV can reach 100km/h from a standstill in 3.8 seconds, on to a top speed of 285km/h, Maserati claims. Power is delivered to all four corners. In Folgore guise, which features 400V electric architecture, power is rated at 404kW, with range having improved thanks to a new ‘Air Grill Shutter’ system and better airflow over the front bumper and underbody.
